a bottle of Louis XIII with some friends on the weekend
mircea_popescu: the latter i never heard of , and to be quite frank with you it sounds liek
a scam
dub:
a degree of popsecuity
mircea_popescu:
a well. yes. all it requires is
a degree in not saying really stupid shit. which, granted, is
a rara avis these days, kids being pushed so hard to explore the space of possibilities they never learn to hedge their bets.
pankkake: xmj: arguing with mp requires
a degree in popescuism, and I'm not sure anyone managed to finish it

a legitimate goal of the thinking mind really did
a number of them

a boyweek. there IS

a mongodb mug << let me ruin your day for you. coffee in argentina ? comes PRE SWEET$ENED. and i don't even mean the bags. i mean the MOTHERFUCKING BEANS;. they sugar-cook them.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell decimation: mircea_popescu: I'm glad you enjoyed the movie (
a man for all seasons). I think I was the one that last reminded you about it - it's one of my favorites too. << yeah i think so. and what "of this age", it's all ages. that's the beauty of it, the zero delta since forever.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c yesterday I checked your page
http://www.btcalpha.com/mpif-tracker/ and I saw that mpif was 15 satoshi ahead, and slowly gaining. so i went to sleep AND GAVE IT ALMOST TEN HOURS only to wake up and find that it is now ONLY !$ ahead. I was never told this can go backwards, I was led to expect this goes up WHAT SORT OF
A SCAM ARE YOU RUNNNING!
mircea_popescu: i vaguely remember tat doing this
a while back. does ba nao have
a collaborative lyrics page ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake, lol. mind dumping that fund's google braindamage on
a text dump ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: we came up with
a plan for world domination but then promptly forgot it
fluffypony: pankkake: that's
a surprising amount of MPEX assets
davout: that's true for
a lot of things
davout: no, the correct way is to use 3d secure and reject cards that don't get you
a proper liability shift even with 3ds
Naphex: in basics you just keep bitcoin as
a guarantee and set
a max limit for
a month on
a customer visa/master
fluffypony: davout: got
a sauce on the Xapo thing?
Naphex: xmj: not
a point of view, reality :P
xmj: case in point, you just do not update things _the night before_
a demo.
dub: hopefully there is
a distinction between #bitcoin-assets startups and moms #basement-attick startups
jurov imagines arriving into DC with
a gramophone to load the OS after power outage
davout: "but they still launched before actually knowing? now that's
a real startup" << no, pre-orders ftw
davout: how does one burn freebsd on
a bootable vinyl, that is the question
pankkake: but they still launched before actually knowing? now that's
a real startup
jurov: when i tried coworking with fellow startups i sticked out there like
a sore thumb
jurov: in short, garden variety startups need not apply to #b-
a dub: you learn to let
a lot of the expertise offered in here go but startups buying sun shit on ebay is getting pretty retarded
xmj: dub:
a similar statement got me ignored by mirceau..
dub: wtf does
a 'startup' want with physical plant? owning inrastructure is for corporate behemoth, makes no sense in anything smaller than
a 1000 staff
xmj: just get me something that's compatible with FreeBSD and i'll build you
a nice production environment.
jurov: and .vermögensberatung is
a TLD :D
jurov: Geschwindigkeitsüberschreitung is
a word, too :)
jurov: actually, despite being
a sysadmin with 8 or so year practice and i avoid messing with physical hw whenever i can. so what, kill me.
BingoBoingo: I mean, tech has advanced enough that the financial cost of doing "Big Iron" as
a hobbyist is less than doing HF amateur radio
BingoBoingo: Well, sometimes
a person needs to wonder. I mean who doesn't check the prices on the not so old 30 processor capable machines
xmj: that's
a manweek you do not spend on developing your product!!!!!
☟︎ BingoBoingo: I mean suppose the rare actually valuable idea in itself that could launch
a tremendous venture... Do you really want to test the alpha on someone else's iron and risk them poaching it.
fluffypony: that is
a word and not her mashing the keyboard
fluffypony: quote from an actual SMS from my wife: " the Germans replied with
a list of what we need for our ehefaehigkeitszeugnis"
davout: drinking aero-pressed espresso in
a mongodb mug
decimation: mircea_popescu: I'm glad you enjoyed the movie (
a man for all seasons). I think I was the one that last reminded you about it - it's one of my favorites too.
xmj: You'll have to agree that it's
a bit harder if you do not actually know things have become this cheap.
BingoBoingo: Nothing about paying $500
a local pickup requires any measure of "wealth"
xmj: if you achieve that with owning your hardware, you agin have
a cloud.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> Vexual, to become the butt of every nitwit's conspiracy theories. and don't tell me anyone has higher goals in life, it's not true. << This explains
a lot, says all of Reddit
mircea_popescu: davout: is it proved? because it sounds like they'd have more to lose by passing on the block reward << as best as it could be discerned it was more probably
a shitty excuse by the dice site in question.
Vexual: theres
a lot of it atround i guess
Vexual: really where would someone go to do
a 51?
Vexual: why would
a successful pol ever try to 51%? to get cheap ebay shit?
mircea_popescu: there should be
a "beat internet people for bitcoin" service.
mircea_popescu: Not closing registration as their pool is approaching
a (visible) 51%
mircea_popescu: Naphex: Posts about people paying 28,000$ for mining equipment and still not delivering weeks after deadline. is it just me or thats
a hell of
a lot money to be pissing people off for << not so lulzy. they're not even the first romanian bunch.
Vexual: if you think you are
a state you prolly are
a state, skinner said that
mircea_popescu: not
a very good take-down, in retrospect. scofield says "laid flat" and it serves.
gribble: Error: '+d' is not
a valid integer.
mircea_popescu: most kids aren't worth the hassle people put into them by
a long shot.
benkay: <mircea_popescu> my father didn't have the wisdom to see that, and it nearly cost him his life. the us isn;t in
a much better position really. // i'd love to hear this story sometime.
mircea_popescu: it's just
a hard thing to grasp this, that the thing can't even walk and yet it's
a dragon, which you aren't, will never be etc.
mircea_popescu: my father didn't have the wisdom to see that, and it nearly cost him his life. the us isn;t in
a much better position really.
mircea_popescu: this is like that case of
a three year old that';s so far smarter and better than you that your only hope as
a father is to slave and serve it on your knees
mircea_popescu: but i doubt he had much of
a future as an issuer anyway, at least on the short term
BingoBoingo: Well, he basically avoided the gasenwagen by buying them
a BMW
mircea_popescu: and as to why he ponied up, probably bcause it's
a laughably small sum, it gives the sec something it already had (i doubt any us citizen can sanely argue that th eauthority of the us govt and its agencies doesn't extend to him)
assbot: Want to buy
a jail, never used? Submit your proposal for Portland’s Wapato by June 4 | OregonLive.com
mircea_popescu: dub: he's outside refueling the side curtain flamethrowers on his BMW << dub is such
a bland kowtow character
punkman: what you just flip
a coin?
punkman: considering
a 10-way or 30-way bet, that is sure more work for bitbet mods to seed correctly. So I guess we won't see multibets until there's just too many single bets covering the same events
mircea_popescu: n owinner is unlikely. i mean, is
a bet that nets you 10kx your bet unlikely at 9900:1 odds ?
mircea_popescu: but that aside,
a parimutuel situatiuon where nobody bets on
a possible outcome is not economically probable.
mircea_popescu: calculating the odds becomes more complicated. also, "nobody" bets on
a winner is impossible, bitbet seeds all bets.
punkman: also
a hypothetical, if you have
a multibet and nobody bets on the winner, would the house take it?
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> maybe they would do well as
a bitbet affiliate << worth
a shot.
mike_c: maybe they would do well as
a bitbet affiliate
punkman: yeah because when you got
a working gambling operation, you want to send people to other places
dub: 'i don't know how I can prove I was
a virgin' - posting on reddit, uh
mike_c: whoa, that could actually be
a first
punkman: that's
a cheap hooker for amsterdam
assbot: I did
a world's first! ...hopefully :) : Bitcoin
